WINNING WIFE IN SIYGAPoRE.-
The damsel in Singapore is given a canoe
and a double-bladed paddle and allowed q
start OF some distance The srlitor, silni-
larly equipped, starts of in chase. If he
succeeds in overtaking her she becomes his
wife; if not, the match is broken of. 1t is
seldom that objection Is offered at the last
moment, and the race is generally short
one. The maiden's arms are strong, but
her heart is soft and her nature Is warm,
and she soon becomes willing captive
If the marriage takes place where no
stream is near, a round circle of certain
size is formed, the danisel is stripped of all
but waistband and given half the circles
start, and if she succeeds in running three
times around before her suitor comes up
with her, she is entitled to remain vir-
gin; if not, she must consent TO the bonds
of matrimony. As in the other cases, but
few outstrip their lovers.-AH he Year

A CAUSE OF SNoRrNG.-A very familiar

gestion) the jaw drops, the mouth becomes
parched, and finally, to rouse the sleeper
from his misery and danger, nature awak-
ems him by filling his brain with the terror
of a nightmare. After awaking there is
sensation of exhaustion and general
wretchedness which demands change of
position, and if the sleeper has passed the
period of youth there will be soreness and
restriction of motion when turning or
moving. A practical test of this question
can be made by placing in the semi-prone
position sleeper who snores, jerks, groans,
and cries out, when it will be found that
all these unpleasant symptoms vanish

INDIAN INSTRUCTION.
The Governments Prospective Red Citi-
zens Must be Taught English

WASHINGTON, September 22d-In letter
to General Clinton B. Fiske, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Atkins says the Indian
Bureau does not intend TO recede from its
position that no language but the English
shall be taught in Indian schools, notwith-
standing the opposition manifested against
the order. The letter states that the order
does not forbid the teaching of scriptural
and other truths to adult Indians in their
native tongue, but simply forbids the
teaching or reading of the vernacular to
Indians in the schools. The Commissioner
says: am thoroughly convinced that an
Indian cannot become useful and civilized
unless he is educated in the English Ian
guage. If the Indian is ever to become
citizen as the Land in Severalty Act con-
templates, he must know the language of
the Constitution. the laws and the people.

CITY OF MEXICO, September 22d.-There
is a good deal of uneasiness in political
circles regarding the rumored attempt of
Guatemala to secure the support of the
United States Government, as against Mex
leo. 1t is felt here that such step would
do much to disturb the pleasant relations
existing between Mexico and the United
States, which at present are inducing heavy
investments of American capital here.
The case against Guatemala is this: In
suits have been offered to members of the
Mexican Legation there, which it is said
have not been properly atoned for, and
while the Mexican Government is not act
ing Extensively toward Guatemala, it is de-
manding just compensation for the assaults
on the officers of the Legation. The fight
in Guatemala is largely a clerical conflict
and assumes the aspect of q religious war
and many politicians here say they do not
believe the United States will interfere in
SO delicate matter.

VELOCITY OF ELECTRICAL TRANsMIs-
sIoN.-Prufessor Gould has ascertained
that aerial telegraph wires on poles trans
nit electricity at the rate Of from II 600
to l6,600 miles per second, and that the
velocity of transmission increases with the
distance between the wires and the earth,
or, i'll other words, with the hight of sus-
pension. Subterranean wires, like subma-
rine cables, transmit slowly. While wires
suspended at feeble hight transmit sig
mails at velocity of 1900 miles per
second, those that are suspended higher
give a velocity of from 10000 to $4,000
miles. Wheatstone's experiments in 1888
seemed to show velocity of from 2S6, 900
miles per second, but this result has never
been confirmed.-La Lumiere EleetFiqae.
